i am going to be studding out the wall framing in my basement studio soon, and i have some questions. the situation is: i will have two rooms (a control room and a studio room), plus a small bathroom, a small sound lock/vocal booth, and a laundry room. i have a little over 7' headroom between concrete floor and ceiling joists, and preserving headroom is a priority along with soundproofing. the walls for the studio and c.r. will use resilient channels, as will the ceilings. thick padding and carpet in the studio, shallow floated floor in c/r.
I will have neoprene rubber between the wall framing and the concrete floor and ceiling joists. What i am not sure about is how to secure the wall framing to the joists. If i simply nail through the framing and neoprene into the joists above, wouldn't that defeat the vibration dampening properties of the neoprene, by transmitting vibrations through the nails to the joists? If so, how do i go about securing the wall framing to the existing surrounding structure? or is the amount of vibration transmitted through the nails small enough to be negligible, esp. when the drywall will be hung with resilient channels?
Thanks, in advance.
